Norway is a tiny town located in the state of South Carolina. With a population of 276 people and two associated neighborhoods, Norway is the 253rd largest community in South Carolina.
Of important note, Norway is also a town of artists. Norway has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Norway’s character.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Norway is worth considering.
One downside of living in Norway, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.03 minutes every day commuting to work.
As is often the case in a small town, Norway doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
In terms of college education, Norway is nearly on par with the US average for all cities of 21.84%: 19.53% of adults 25 and older in Norway have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Norway in 2022 was $24,901, which is lower middle income relative to South Carolina, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $99,604 for a family of four. However, Norway contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Norway is an extremely ethnically-diverse town. The people who call Norway home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Norway residents report their race to be Black or African-American, followed by White. Important ancestries of people in Norway include German, Irish, Polish, English, and Carpatho Rusyn.
The most common language spoken in Norway is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Italian.
